Cadil, a human, was employed by De'Rruyet Industries during the time of the Galactic Civil War. He worked at the De'Rruyet Center located on the planet Midarr. In the year 3 ABY, Beol De'Rruyet, who both founded and led the company, acquired a Nihil Path engine hyperdrive. He then tried to build his own hyperdrive, asserting that it would mimic the Nihil's techniques for traveling at lightspeed. However, before De'Rruyet could reveal his hyperdrive, General Vukorah, along with a group of soldiers from the criminal organization known as the Unbroken Clan, infiltrated the center. Vukorah requested to view the hyperdrive, and as she approached it, Cadil told her it was not yet working. Vukorah then instructed Cadil to make certain the hyperdrive became operational, stating she would not depart without it, and then she killed Cadil by shooting him in the face.
